That's what I loved about skiing in Europe, and ski-touring in this
hemisphere. The greatest hoot was taking the bus from Chamonix to
Cervinia in Italy, then skiing over the hump to Zermatt. When we took
the train down out of Zermatt, I wondered how many people had ever
taken it outbound (downbound?) on their first trip.

Flying is a bit like that. Especially when the folks on the other end
make a big deal about it. In the Cub, that does happen from time to
time. You needn't go far to feel like one of the great explorers.

If your landings are in fairly good shape and you can FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
you can go into OSH. The problem with the Oshkosh arrival is the so-called
experienced pilots who can't read, understand, and follow the NOTAM and
controller instructions.
